Topic: ERRATA - Temple of Light (Read 41291 times)

“Once each round, before or after any friendly creature’s Action Phase, you may choose a value of X from 1 to the number of temples you control, and pay X mana to make the above attack, adding X to the effect die roll. Use a Ready Marker to keep track of this ability.”

FAQ:

- As an example, if you control 4 temples, you may pay either 1, 2, 3, or 4 mana. If you choose 3, you pay 3 mana, then make the above attack rolling 3 attack dice and adding 3 to the effect die roll.

- You choose the value of X each time you use the ability. (For instance, you could choose X=3 while using the ability one round, and X=1 while using the ability on a different round.)

- Temple of Light can attack the round that it comes into play.

- The effect die results, 9-10=stun, 11+=daze, are correct. (As X increases, the chance to daze increases, but not the chance to stun.)

im sure you did copious play testing on this, and i haven't added it to excel yet. but it just feels like most mages (even the priestess) wont want to dedicate mana to what is a weaker light powered wizards tower anymore.

since it cost mana to attack did you consider giving it a channel value, so then at least with no mage interference it could do a 1 dice attack every round.

i guess on the good side "if" this card isn't going to be used anymore it would warrant future expansions to have additional holy conjurations

Being Aussie we place all our cards face down, apart from enchantments which are face up

I have to say they nerfed the hell out of this card when you add in the Unique (nerfing) on the Hands of Bim-Shalla. I can not see the Priestess winning any in tournaments going forward. I make the predication that the next winner of a Tournament is the Warlock and I do not see that changing at any point for a good while. Now Necro vs. Druid may change that, but I am guessing we are going to see a good group of the cards coming from it to be from the Dark school.

I have to wonder if I should give up on MW before my heart gets broken even more. BTW I didn't run a ToL + HoBs deck...

Can you purchase these new cards anywhere so we can replace our old cards?

Changing a card that is already in print seems like a bad idea. What about the thousands of cards that are already printed? Do they get replaced with new ones or do players just know and remember they changed it?

I never thought Temple of Light or Hands of Bim Shala were that overpowered to begin with. I've played several temple builds and sure they are good but I've still never lost to one (there are so many ways around the temple of light even with hands out) so it was never a big deal.

I think it would make sense in the future to add NEW cards in new expansions that would add balance or counter these cards if the playtesters or powers that be find a card is out of balance. Because that way it will make people want to buy those new expansions even more so they can beat existing cards that may be out of balance. No need to change old cards, just make new ones to bring the game back in balance.

KOZ the rules team had been talking about most of these change since late May. It took this long to come up with the correct wording and balance. (after seeing what I had talked about with the power of HoB in action it was moved to the forefront of the rules team talks) I was part of all these talks and I understand the reason behind them.

Of all the changes this was the one I was most concerned with but after many weeks. I do understand the reason for it. Some things may not be clear at first but they have been made for the health of the game.

Agreed: This is one of the many reasons that these took so long to announce, trust me when I say this was talked about time and time again. I have not heard the final plan as to what is going to be done. I wish I could give you more info at this time but alas even I am not privy to that info.

The mana cost is not much of a problem, it still does its job, and I REALLY like the option to be able to choose the effect.

Overall, I am happy with this change. Paying one mana per turn to use its attack is still effective IMO.

Thanks haslo! I might try to figure a way to print those out on card stock or something. My memory isn't what it used to be so unless I can purchase these new cards somewhere I want to do something with my existing ones to denote the change so I don't have to refer to a list of changes to remember. I see they will be available in the mean time I will use your images on cardstock.

Is there any licensing or copyright law infringements if we use the images to create our own replacement cards?
